Answer 2

The element that is white, translucent solid, readily reacts with water and produces an alkaline solution and is stored in kerosene is Sodium.

Explanation:

• Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is white in colour and a translucent solid.
• It reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide which is alkaline in nature.

        $\[2Na + 2{H_2}O \to 2NaOH + {H_2}\]$

• It is always kept in kerosene due to its reactive nature. It readily reacts with oxygen and moisture while does not react with kerosene oil.  
• Therefore, it is kept in kerosene.
• Thus, the element is sodium.
